More Than Dark, August 15, 2o13

Thursday,
Another poem that got lost somewhere in the wilderness of my flash-drive.

More Than Dark
 
More dark than pale this night
which the windowpane seems
to like more than bright,
more than dawning seams
 
that a stitching morning sun sews
to the bottom of his shoes.
A waddle-walk across the sky bows
him before the garden crow who woos
 
the grass and tends to evening trees.
No, let a kind, black darkness come along
and make her glass devoid of knees
creak and scrape and beg upon
 
her fragile shadow-sills. Refracted light
burning yellow in her one good eye.
Let her cry, may she weep for sight,
grieve for all those window dreams gone by.
